Monkey Race is a Party Game in Super Monkey Ball. In it, the monkeys race around the course, in their traditional Monkey Balls, and use items and boost pads to go faster and sabotage their opponents.
There are 3 modes to choose from - One-Course Race, Grand Prix, and Time Attack. "One-Course Race" has one track to race on, "Grand Prix" is all 6, and "Time Attack" is a mode to practice on each track to get the best time possible.
